Hi all, My wife Dominique and I are new to the group and new to STRs in general. I'd heard there are several other Smoky Mtns investors here, so I'm curious if anyone has a cleaning service and/or handyman that they would recommend? We live in California, so we're hoping to find some very trustworthy "boots on the ground" people or services that could help us keep our investment in great shape between our in-person visits and respond to guests' needs. We welcome any and all suggestions, and thank you in advance!

Hi! I am a newbie. I am interested in maximizing tax savings so that I can better fund and build my STR portfolio. My goal is to create a passive income stream and asset base for retirement. I am very early in my journey (and very late getting started @60yo) with one STR in North Lake Tahoe, CA that was launched officially this year. As I am still working my W-2 job full time, I want to make the best of hte next 5-10 working years ahead of me.

Which one would you pick & why?

Over the past few years, we've had the honor of working with hundreds of real estate investors, business owners, and high earners on building tax-efficient lives and legacies. As we head into a new year, I’m trying to better communicate what we actually do — and nothing beats hearing it from real people we’ve helped. If my team and I have helped you:✅ Save on taxes✅ Understand your numbers✅ Create a long-term tax strategy✅ Or just made this whole thing less stressful… Would you be open to sharing 1-2 sentences about your experience?(Feel free to drop it in the comments or DM me — whichever you prefer!) It helps us tremendously, and it might also help someone who’s on the fence about getting their tax life in order.

Thoughts? I will be doing podcasts on this, along with portable mortgages, and Fannie dropping the credit score requirement.
